thank you for the ink sample. i was able to manipulate it but it seems the vast majority of its potential has already been expended. it resists proper use, or maybe more specifically it resists me. it has vanished now as kitty said it would.

Is the "potential" expended because it's not part of the brand anymore?

Scott/Illyana

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

because it has been used for the brand already i would think. removing it does not allow it to be used for a second purpose, or by a second master.

Scott/Illyana

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

So when the brands change, it's because they're fulfilling their primary purpose and/or under the command of their master.

Are you able to determine if the brands are for anything other than marking us?

Scott/Illyana

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

this "inscriber", yes

i was not able to determine this from the ink alone. i could inspect a mark itself but i cannot guarantee our safety if i do.

Scott/Illyana

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

Alright. Don't risk yourself. We have other leads.

How are you doing with all of this?

Scott/Illyana

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

i suspect the purpose would be beyond me anyway. this magic is like a foreign language to my own.

i am doing well i think

Scott/Illyana

What's your magic like?

Most people wouldn't be so nonchalant about getting branded against their will.

Scott/Illyana

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

tied inextricably to limbo itself. i suppose you would call it "demonic".

i've had weirder thursdays and i like a mystery

Scott/Illyana

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

So this tattoo magic feels more neutral than demonic? [...] Sorry. Unfair assumption to think demonic isn't neutral.

If you like weird mysteries, you've ended up in the right place.

Scott/Illyana

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

it is not neutral exactly. perhaps not evil, however.

you are quite the little detective team. how's your girlfriend

Scott/Illyana

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

You were young when you ended up in Limbo?

Better. Getting ready to risk her life again any day now.

Scott/Illyana

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

it was just before my tenth birthday.

what's the rush

Scott/Illyana

[seeingred scott summers ⊗ cyclops]

A tough age for going to hell.

The sooner Emma locates the entity that Professor Xavier's mind was touching, the sooner we can fix everything. Or that's the hope.

Scott/Illyana

[allhell magik 🖤 illyana rasputin]

is there a good age for it

if she believes she is rested, sure

Better coping mechanisms when you're an adult. Less manipulable developmental stage. But maybe there's benefits to being a child.

Yeah. Luckily, she's not the reckless type.
